CSA-ARCH3-BRKT
QMT™ 3-Series Architectural Shade Hardware
Installation Guide
Description
QMT™ 3-Series Architectural Shade Hardware from Crestron® is a compact mounting
system that allows a Crestron shade to be mounted on a wall, ceiling, pocket, or window
jamb. Extrusions for concealing shades include square or curved fascia, top and back
covers, and pockets. Accessories for creating blackout conditions, such as sill angles and
side channels, are also available.

firmware updates.
NOTE: End caps are only used in conjunction with a fascia and when outside
mounted. If inside mounted, end caps are not required unless shade brackets
protrude from the window.
Secure the Motor to the Motor Bracket
Left Mounting Bracket: Inside Mount
3. If using end caps, attach the end caps to the mounting brackets following the
stamped directions on the end caps. The end caps snap into place.
4. Fasten the brackets to the outside of the window frame (outside mount) or inside of
the window frame (inside mount) using the appropriate hardware for the mounting
surface. Make sure the brackets are level and on a flat surface for best results. Refer
to the mounting illustrations that follow.
• The idler bracket mounts on the right side of the window opening.
• The motor bracket mounts on the left side of the window opening.
NOTE: The stamped L and R should face the wall and window.
Left Mounting Bracket: Outside Mount
Plastic clips lock the motor into the motor bracket when it is fully inserted
into the motor bracket. Pull the motor gently to the right to ensure that the
motor is securely locked into place.
Install the Brackets
Adjust the Roller Shade Assembly
The CSA-ARCH3-BRKT is mounted to the wall using the two supplied brackets. The end
caps (optional) and roller shade assembly then attach to the brackets. Refer to the
following illustrations for bracket dimensions.
Dimensions: Mounting Bracket (Dimensions are the same for both brackets)
NOTE: For inside mounts, mounting brackets may be screwed into the window jamb
(as pictured above) or into the window header.
NOTE: When using a fascia, align the brackets with the width of the fascia before
screwing them to the header.

Once the roller shade assembly is installed, adjustments can be made to level the shade
and center it in the opening. Refer to the illustration below for adjustment options. If
adjustments do not fix leveling or centering issues, remount the brackets or shim the
fabric. If shade fabric is telescoping to the left, shim the right side of the fabric.

CAUTION: There is risk of personal injury and equipment damage if the shade or
associated parts fall during installation. Use care when installing. Use proper mounting
hardware (e.g., screws or bolts) for the mounting surface when securing the brackets to
the surface.
NOTE: The screws that are provided with the mounting brackets are intended for use
on walls (or jambs) with wood or metal blocking. Screws should not be used for hollow
drywall or masonry installations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that
mounting method used is secure.
Install the brackets.
1. Hold the roller shade assembly in the approximate mounting location and check for
a proper fit. If using a fascia, use the fascia to help measure the proper distance
between mounting brackets.
2. Ensure that the mounting points are level with each other and mark the locations of
the brackets.
2. Raise the motor end of the roller shade assembly to the motor bracket.
3. Push the roller shade assembly towards the idler bracket to compress the spring on
the idler pin and align the tab on the motor assembly with the hole in the motor
bracket.
Align the Motor with the Motor Bracket
NOTE: When the bracket is
installed inside a pocket,
the motor must be rotated
90 degrees from what is
shown in the image to the
right and then raised past
the tab. Rotate the motor so
it aligns with the mounting
bracket.
Maneuver the
motor end into
the bracket slot.
4. Push the tab on the motor assembly into the hole in the motor bracket. When the
shade is properly seated, the two clips spring down to secure the motor to the
bracket. Ensure the shade is properly mounted before letting go.
The roller shade assembly can be mounted with the idler and motor ends on different
ends of the tube than they were when they were received from the factory (i.e., the idler
end is on the left and the motor end is on the right). Swapping the idler and motor ends
allows the roller shade to still roll off of the proper side of the tube. This might be
necessary if the control or power wires were run to the wrong side of the window. If this is
necessary, the idler mount in the right bracket and motor mount in the left bracket will
need to be swapped. The left and right mounting brackets remain on their intended side.
Swap the Bracket Hardware
Swapping the hardware requires a Phillips screwdriver.
1. Remove the two screws holding the motor mount in the left hand bracket. Note the
orientation of the motor mount and then remove it along with the two screws. Retain
all hardware for reinstallation.

2. Remove the two screws holding the ilder mount in the right hand bracket. Note the
orientation of the idler mount and then remove it along with the two screws. Retain
all hardware for reinstallation.
3. Remove the four screws from the back of the idler mount and separate the
assembly.

Mount the Fascia
Wiring
Once the assembly is installed and programmed, the fascia can be mounted.
Align the fascia with the mounting brackets and then press the fascia into place. The
fascia assembles into place by snapping onto the tabs on the bracket. Place the top of the
fascia on the top of the bracket first and then press the bottom of the fascia into place on
the bottom of the bracket.
To remove the fascia, pull the bottom of the fascia down to clear the bottom tab on the
bracket. Then, pull the fascia away from the window and upwards to release the top of the
fascia. Refer to the illustrations below.
Programming
Do not use CRESNET-HP cable with the small connector. When using CRESNET-HP cable,
the connector on the motor pigtail must be replaced with the larger connector that is
supplied with the shade.
All shades should be home run from the controlling device.
The left and right brackets provide a cutout in the upper corner, which allows wiring to be
easily run to the motor.
Use a cable tie
around the loop to
secure the wire.
Before the roller shade can be operated, the device must be programmed and set up. For
information on programming and setup of this device, refer to Digital QMT Shade Motor
Programming Guide (Doc. 7437) at www.crestron.com/manuals.
